I was considering the same until I saw the yakima overhaul. It can adjust up and down (adjusts on top of the bed rails instead of inside like the xporter) plus I like the way it looks compared with the thule. It also has more accessories for fuel/water cans, etc...
Did you do your own financing/cash or did you finance through one of the dealer's lenders? If the latter, what kind of rate did you get and did you have that prearranged before you got there or did it happen the day of?
I emailed Travis about this but he is on vacation until July 7.

I think this will change over time. Most likely the only gladiators sold were fully loaded Rubicons because that's pretty much all that was available. Once Sports and Overlands start showing up on the lot and custom orders are delivered the average sale price will go down.
I do not currently have a fridge but want to get one and that's exactly what I plan on doing. Was thinking about something like this mounted in the bed so you could also charge your phone while camping...
I did, but couldn't order the steel bumper due to supply issues and hoping after market bumpers take the front camera into account by not blocking its view or offering some sort of relocation package for it. I like aevs bumper but it looks like the hoop will probably obstruct the camera.
